Globalization and increased outsourcing have redefined project management.
The complex dynamics involved in today's long-distance projects require a new
skill set and knowledge base unlike anything needed before.
Here, leading project management expert Marcus Goncalves presents a
complete guide to implementing the virtual project management office (ePMO).
Leveraging his information technology expertise and PM experience, Goncalves
offers cutting-edge techniques for managing projects across borders, working
with colleagues and clients from different cultures, and utilizing the
necessary telecommunication/Internet technologies ePM managers and their
virtual teams and remote PM offices must have.
Implementing the Virtual Project Management Office complies with the
Project Management Institute's Project Management Body of Knowledge (PMBOK)
guidelines and extends them to ePMO. After analyzing the benefits of ePM
versus conventional project management, Goncalves presents an in-depth
discussion of ePM practices, scenarios, and challenges, aided by real-world
examples and insightful case studies.
Providing a full focus on the management and execution of virtual projects,
Goncalves demonstrates the time- and cost-saving advantages, showing how to
begin realizing those advantages immediately. He gives you:
Guidelines for building virtual project teams
Step-by-step best practices for keeping an eProject on course

Ways to integrate speed, change, and innovation for ePM success
A customer-driven approach to ePM
Goncalves provides comprehensive information on developing a
state-of-the-art virtual project management office, from the necessary
structure and environment to the technology. He also defines what concurrent
ePM is and the need for change management during the process. The bonus CD
